And this is exactly what they should do. On second thought, they SHOULD vote, and they should vote for the Democrat.
It is far more important to teach this man (and the rest of the establishment as well) a lesson for having declared war on us (and paying for those racist ads used in Mississippi) than it is to have just one more RINO incumbent at war with us in the Senate.
In this particular race, the Tea Party needs to project some power, and the only way to do this is to vote for the Democrat.
Yes, the Democrat is an enemy, but McConnell is a traitor, and traitors have a higher priority than enemies.
The GOPe treats TeaParty supporters as domocrats treat blacks. But the TeaPartyists won’t just sit back and blindly support the establishment as blacks do for the dems. That’s why the GOPe despises them so much.
Since the formation of political parties very early in the history of the Republic, political power has been exercised by two parties. The names and composition of parties have changed over time, but it's always been two and all of the others have been irrelevant in their brief time in the Sun.
For most of my youth, the two parties were not divided into liberal and conservatives, each party was itself so divided. The Democrats held the majority in the Congress, but enacting legislation required either the conservative blocks or the liberal blocks to coalesce across party lines to get anything done.
This system broke up when the Solid South turned against the Democrats Party and became Republicans. That stared a trend that sent the Conservatives toward the Republicans and the Liberals toward the Democrats. The Democrat Party is much further along in this shift, they have essentially purged their party of all conservatives or have the few holdouts under firm control. Not so in the Republican Party, for various reasons. The Tea Party movement is doing something about that and is having success, especially at the local level.
But because this success is not fast enough for some and because the most powerful of the bunch are the ones best equipped to hang on the longest, a group of people are urging that conservatives vote for Democrats. That this idea is insane on it's face is demonstrated by the glee with which this LA Times journalist urges this Kamikaze approach forward. I have never seen a more wrongheaded idea in my life. The Democrat Party can never be a choice for conservatives and within our two party system staying home or voting for some third party fringe is the equivalent of supporting Democrats, as this author points out.
I am going to vote for my own best interests. I also vote for the best interests of my children and my grandchildren. I vote for the best interests of this great country of ours. I will never vote for a Democrat for any office, for any reason period. Those who do are dead to me.
People in KY are so uninformed that they don’t know McC is a traitor. They think he is their “friendly incumbent”.
